As I understand it, ordinary gismu and lujvo can be used as names after "la". There are 23 gismu beginning with "la-", 16 rafsi beginning with "la"+consonant, 5 rafsi with "la'V" and 2 rafsi "laV". This means there are a lot of actual and potential words which act differently from any other native Lojban words, namely by becoming illegal when used as a cmene. For this reason alone the "la" rule should be replaced. stevo --part1_c40.816a69d.3289c34c_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Here's another reason the "la" rule is bad.
